The competition will be held nationally in September, with the regional finals taking place at the International Hotel School campuses in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town. The winner of the regional final in each province will win a bursary to study the one year Culinary Arts programme at that campus. The regional winners will then be flown to Durban to compete against each other in the final cook off to be held in October.
The final winner will be awarded the grand prize of a Culinary Trip to London in January 2015, which includes return flights, a three-night stay at The Draycott Hotel, dinner at two top London restaurants, a trip to Harrods Food Hall, Fortnum & Mason, and the Borough Market, a visit to a renowned chocolatier, a trip on the London Eye, as well as a sight-seeing tour. What’s more, the winner will also be taken on a behind-the-scenes tour through a five-star hotel, including a tour of the kitchens.
Entering is simple – just visit www.schoolcookoff.co.za and register. Include your email address, mobile number, your school and region and verify that you are in either grade 11 or 12. Then once registered, submit a one-dish recipe and photograph of your dish and get your friends and family to vote for you. It’s as easy as that! Terms and conditions apply.
